That’s weird! I thought all this was supposed to end when we shed our “cowboy” attitude and they realized we were all willing to sit around the table and talk about our problems. Next thing you know, they’ll tell us unilateral disarmament doesn’t work.

(Shame some people have to learn this the hard way).

Well, at least when they’re killing each other, civilization is that much safer.

They kill Jews, Christians, pagans, and other death cultists. None of them should be allowed in any civilized country.

This violence would cease if only Israel would lie down in the manner prescribed by the Arabs, Obama, and Kerry. /S

As the late, smelly, Helen Thomas loved to say, blame it on the “Joosz”.
